How to find small programming related tasks in the USA

Hi all,

I like programming and do a lot of hobby projects. But I don't really do web development, or android, which seems to be what most work are about.

I like making desktop applications, computational projects, etc. i also like problems where I can solve/automate tasks using programming. I have like 100 projects in GitHub now, and I love contributing to open source community. But it sometimes makes me feel like I could be using that time to do things that could make money instead of working on projects that noone will use.

I'm looking for small jobs, independent tasks I could do for minor income. But if it's in python or rust, I am open to a bit larger projects.
